THE BULLRING

    Hi everybody!

    I would like to tell you something interesting about a very famous monument in San Roque: the bullring.

    Our bullring was built in 1853, being the second oldest one in Cádiz, and one of the ancient bullrings of Spain. It was inaugurated in August 1853, in the fair of San Roque. Firstly, it was circled by forest, but little by little, the area was built and nowadays it is in the town centre.

    This place is used in the local fair in August and lots of important bullfighters have been here. The bullring was always private and just now, 20 years ago (in 1993) was bought by the Town Hall.
